Sponsors

Major funding for ECS programs is provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through federal grant awards. These short-term grants allow us to address the needs of the institution by establishing programs and developing curriculum to meet those needs and that of our students. But the grants exist for just a few years and eventually expire.

Donors

Sponsorship opportunities are available. ECS is continually assessing the feasibility of long-term implementation through endowments. Donors can help in supporting activities and special programs that would otherwise not be made possible due to limitations and restrictions in the use of federal funds. For example, international students are not eligible to receive federal funding but through donations from the community we have been able to provide awards for talented international STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students from the wider Caribbean.

Donations are always welcome. If you are interested in donating to ECS, please review the reference links below to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and for more information:

Partners

ECS has also established partnerships with entities within the University to help support the vision of the program. Our partners provide essential services and resources that are important to the success of our activities and events.
